What is the difference between Earthing and Neutral?

Answer Posted / paul s

in uk properties that are fed by underground suppliers,
the earth is bonded to the neutral at the supply point, the
neutral coming from the star point of the transfomer is
also earthed hence the earth is at the same potential as the
neutral. the system is called protective multiple earthing,
so no earth rods are used.

I am having a 42KW 3 phase electrical heating furnace, heating element is 80/20 nichrome material, my connections is made in such a way that 2 star connection compromising 2 coils per phase so totally 12 coils, shall if i use it unbalanced star condition (instead of 2 group of 3 phase or 1 group of 3 phase, connecting 4 phases of 5 phases) what will be the consequences and is it acceptable?

in a solar power plant,we are going to step up the voltage 350V to 33kv, and to 132kv GSS. i want to ask that if it is possible that 315v/33kv is not possible because we also use 315v/11kv. or it should be 415v/33kv? is it effects generation or losses?  the second question is-generation is depends on LV winding? or LV winding design for generation voltage?
